Bio-Rad RAPID’Enterobacteriaceae – chromogenic medium AFNOR validated for 24 hrs detection

RAPID'Enterobacteriaceae Medium is a high-performance bacterial growth medium for the enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae. Through its excellent selectivity, RAPID'Enterobacteriaceae Medium provides results in 24 hr without the need for confirmation. The combination of color indicators allows a high level of contrast and ensures an optimal reading of Enterobacteriaceae colonies. High-contrast colonies can easily be counted using an automated colony counter, allowing full traceability for the laboratory. RAPID'Enterobacteriaceae Medium is available as a ready-to-use agar in 200 ml bottles or in dehydrated form and is AFNOR Certified according to ISO 16140 versus ISO21528 standard method for the enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae, hence, it allows a straightforward accreditation according to ISO17025. RAPID'Enterobacteriaceae Medium is cost effective as only one plate is required per sample with no colony confirmation required. It can also be used to confirm positive results obtained with the iQ-Check Enterobacteriaceae PCR Detection Kit (BR12003068) and reciprocally iQ-Check PCR Kit is validated to confirm suspect positive colonies grown on the Rapid' medium.
